Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of biomass fuel production and processing equipment, and in particular to a biomass fuel raw material drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Biomass fuels are generally made from agricultural and forestry waste (such as straw, sawdust, wood chips, rice husks, bagasse, rice bran, etc.), which is the main difference from fossil fuels. Direct combustion of biomass is a highly polluting fuel; it not only has low thermal efficiency but also pollutes the environment more easily. However, biomass fuels, after being processed through crushing, mixing, extrusion, and drying to form various shapes (such as blocks, pellets, etc.), are a new type of clean fuel.
[0003] However, biomass fuel feedstocks often contain a significant amount of moisture. The thoroughness of dehydration and drying directly affects the combustion efficiency of biomass fuels. Incomplete combustion produces large amounts of smoke and dust, easily polluting the environment. Therefore, drying the feedstocks during processing is necessary to remove excess moisture. Existing biomass fuel drying devices generally suffer from drawbacks such as low thermal efficiency, inconvenient maintenance, and poor moisture removal. These not only affect processing quality but also fail to improve processing efficiency, exhibiting numerous disadvantages. Therefore, we propose a biomass fuel feedstock drying device.

[0023] Example 1:
[0024] like Figure 1-5 The biomass fuel feedstock drying device includes a support frame 1 and a feeding structure mounted on it. The feeding structure includes a feeding cylinder 2 mounted on the support frame 1. The upper half of the feeding cylinder 2 is open and equipped with a ventilated mesh frame 3. The bottom of the feeding cylinder 2 is equipped with a discharge port 9 and a heating element 13. The ventilated mesh frame 3 is equipped with a feed inlet 10. A feeding auger 6 is installed inside the feeding cylinder 2. The end of the feeding auger 6 is connected to the output end of a motor 7. The motor 7 is connected to the feeding cylinder 2 through a first fixed seat 8. An auxiliary drying structure is provided at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 2.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, one side of the breathable mesh frame 3 is connected to the feeding cylinder 2 via multiple hinge structures 4, and the other side of the breathable mesh frame 3 is provided with a handle structure 5. This facilitates maintenance and cleaning of the inside of the feeding cylinder 2.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the breathable mesh frame 3 is provided with a magnetic strip 12 on the side near the handle structure 5, and the feeding cylinder 2 is provided with an adsorption strip 11 that cooperates with the magnetic strip 12 on the side near the handle structure 5. The magnetic cooperation makes operation more convenient.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary drying structure includes a heat insulation cover 14 disposed at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 2 and completely covering the heating element 13. One end of the heat insulation cover 14 is provided with an air inlet pipe 15, and the other end is provided with a vent pipe 16. The vent pipe 16 is equipped with multiple sets of air supply pipes 17 communicating with the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 2, and an air pump structure 18. The air pump structure 18 is connected to the feeding cylinder 2 via a second fixed seat 19. The preheating of the heating element 13, combined with the flow of hot air, not only drives moisture out to avoid secondary moisture absorption but also improves drying efficiency.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal height of the connection end between the air supply pipe 17 and the feeding cylinder 2 is lower than the horizontal height of its connection end with the vent pipe 16. The airflow is sprayed obliquely downwards, and after reflection, the hot and humid air rises rapidly and dissipates.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the connection point of the air supply pipe 17 to the feeding cylinder 2 is closer to the discharge port 9 than its connection point to the air vent pipe 16. The airflow is injected obliquely forward, guiding it to cover a longer material action path.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the feed inlet 10 is a wide-mouth feed chute. Wide-mouth feeding avoids material blockage.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] like Figure 1-5 In the middle, the breathable mesh frame 3 is fastened to the feeding cylinder 2 by the hinge 4, and the magnetic strip 12 and the adsorption strip 11 automatically attract and seal.
[0033] Start motor 7 to drive feeding auger 6, and preheat heating element 13 to the set temperature.
[0034] Biomass raw materials are fed into the inlet 10, and the feeding auger 6 pushes the material to move towards the outlet 9.
[0035] The heat generated by the heating element 13 radiates heat to the material through the bottom of the feeding cylinder 2. At the same time, the air pump 18 injects hot air into the cylinder obliquely downward through the air supply pipe 17, and the moisture is discharged from the ventilated mesh frame 3.
[0036] The dried material is discharged from outlet 9;
[0037] Lift handle 5 to open the ventilation mesh frame 3 and clean the residue inside the cylinder.
[0038] Example 3:
[0039] like Figure 1-5 In the middle, when the feeding auger 6 rotates, it pushes the material towards the discharge port 9. During the conveying process, the material is turned over by the auger blades, increasing the contact area with the hot air.
[0040] The heating element 13 provides basic heating to the material through the bottom of the feeding cylinder 2, while the hot air stream is injected obliquely downward into the cylinder through the air supply pipe 17, forming a composite heating mode of bottom radiation combined with middle convection.
[0041] The hot airflow driven by the air pump 18 is injected into the lower part of the feeding cylinder 2 through the air supply pipe 17. The airflow is simultaneously sprayed obliquely downward along the inclined pipe and obliquely forward. It is quickly reflected and carries moisture upward through the breathable mesh frame 3 for discharge.
[0042] The design of the air supply pipe 17, with a lower near-discharge port and a higher far-discharge port, guides the airflow to cover a longer material action path.
[0043] The magnetic strip 12 and the adsorption strip 11 generate a strong magnetic seal when closed, preventing the air-permeable mesh frame 3 from loosening and opening during operation. The opening and closing mechanism facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the feeding cylinder 2.
[0044] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: dynamic drying, which combines fixed-point heat source radiation with feeding, and continuous tumbling and conveying of materials, resulting in more uniform heating, faster moisture evaporation and lower energy consumption; the drying chamber has a simple and practical structure, is easy to open, close and clean, and is easy to operate; the hot air combination continuously drives airflow during the drying process, preventing the continuous circulation of hot and humid air in the chamber, and quickly expelling it to avoid secondary moisture absorption.
